Beginning in 2002, EARLY THEATRE will be publishing 2 issues a year, one in
June and the other in December. We are always interested in
receiving an article or note on any aspect of early modern performance or
theatre history, and are still reviewing material for our December
issue.
Although EARLY THEATRE has received government funding (Social Sciences and
Humanities Research Council of Canada) well as support from McMaster University,
subscribers play a vital role in the continuation of this journal. Please
renew your subscription or begin a new subscription. Right now, $25 a year
will pay for the two issues. We need your support.
For the next issue, here is the table of contents. You may access the
abstracts online at
